San Antonio del Nuevo Mundo
San Antonio del Nuevo Mundo was a mining town which at its peak in the 17th century had about 150.000 inhabitants. It is said that even in precolumbian times the Inca mined there for silver. When water repeatedly flooded the mine shafts the town and mines were given up. Though an enormous amount of silver is said to remain in the mountain the altitude and remote location make mining uneconomical.
The mountain in the background is the lower (>5900m) of the twin peaks of Cerro Lípez, a 5929 m high stratovolcano.
San Antonio del Nuevo Mundo war eine Bergwerksstadt, die zu ihren besten Zeiten im 17. Jh ca. 150.000 EInwohner hatte. Vermutlich wurde dort schon in vorkolumbianischen Zeiten von den Inka SIlber abgebaut.Wegen wiederholter Wassereinbrüche wurden Stadt und Minen aufgegeben, es sollen aber noch gewaltige Mengen an Silber im Berg sein. Wegen der Höhe und sehr abgelegenen Lage ist der Abbau derzeit nicht wirschaftlich.
Der Berg im HIntergrund ist der niedrigere der Doppelgipfel des Vulkans Cerro Lípez (5929m), der aber auch noch mehr als 5900m hoch ist.
